Luxor Day Tour from Hurghada

We had a fantastic day trip to Luxor, to the temple complex, and also to the Valley of the Kings with Ahmed. A small Nile boat trip was also included; a small highlight was an authentic meal with his family. My children felt comfortable and we all felt warmly welcomed. Ahmed is very dedicated to taking care of everyone's well-being, from buying peanuts to getting glue to fix the child's sandal... simply a warm and trustworthy person! His expertise regarding Egyptian culture was impressive; it was incredibly enjoyable to listen to him talk. An absolute insider tip for private tours; we were always the focus ;) See you again soon!!!

We stumbled upon Ahmed by chance, as we were planning to take a day trip anyway, and what can I say, it was flawless and we will definitely be back. Thank you, Ahmed, for this wonderful day.

Very nice day with Ahmet in Luxor.As already said at the first meeting,from A-Z everything with it.Thanks for an unforgettable day!

We are very happy with the tour, good information and all communication was done easily via WhatsApp. The guide Ahmed was very nice and knowledgeable. Overall it was well planned and professionally managed, we had no problems at all.

An unforgettable day in Luxor with our guide Ahmed! In just one day he showed us so much – Valley of the Kings, Nile Ride, Papyrus Factory and Stonemason Village – everything perfectly organized and explained with a lot of knowledge and heart. Dining at his home with his family was the absolute highlight: authentic, warm and a special insight into life in Luxor. 100% recommendation – thank you Ahmed! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We embarked on his journey bright and early at 5 am, departing from Hurgada and heading south to Safaga before traversing the desert to a coffee and pastry stop near Qena city. From there, we travelled down the Nile Valley, remaining on the east bank until we arrived in Luxor itself. Here, we met our Egyptologist, Hussein, who immediately took us into the Luxor Temple. The Luxor Temple was quite quiet as it was early morning, and Hussein provided us with talks on the various areas and their histories, pointing out many fascinating details that we thoroughly enjoyed. We then had free time to wander among the ruins and marvel at the wonders of history before us. It was simply breathtaking. Our next stop was a trip into the Valley of the Kings, where we were granted access to three of the tombs in the valley. With over 63 known tombs, there is plenty of choice, but we took our guide’s advice and visited the three he recommended. His knowledge proved invaluable, and we had a fantastic experience capturing some truly unique moments deep underground. After the Valley of the Kings, we were taken to the stonemasons’ village, where we received a demonstration of how the ancient stonemasons shaped rocks and artefacts found within the tombs of the Valley of the Kings. This was a fascinating insight, though it also included a visit to the obligatory souvenir shop. Hussein then took us for lunch to his family home, where we met his brother, his wife, and all the children of the family who live there. We were treated to a delicious traditional homemade Egyptian lunch, with all the food grown on the family’s farm or sourced directly from their cow in the garden. It was an amazing experience, very humbling, and it felt gracious to share some moments in the shade, enjoying a meal together. We then departed back to the West Bank of the Nile visiting another old ruined temple and it gained marvelling at the history that stood in front of us. The day concluded in the afternoon with a cruise up the River Nile, where we drifted idly on the tide, taking in the sights of the city around us before heading back to the minibus for the long journey back to Hurghada. As a private tour, I would highly recommend this. You have the opportunity to direct questions to an experienced Egyptologist who can explain things on your terms and in your language. We also found his advice and guidance on what to do and not to do at the various attractions we visited to be invaluable, something we wouldn’t have had if we had booked a group experience. The business owner we met at lunch and his brother were great guys, and I would wholeheartedly recommend this tour to you.

We had an exceptional and unforgettable day. From beginning to end. To advise without hesitation. The guide listens and answers all our questions. His explanations are clear and precise. We had great meetings. Thank you again!!

Our day trips on holiday to Luxor and Cairo were a real highlight – not least thanks to Ahmed, who led us through this fascinating country with a lot of passion. From the beginning everything was well planned, and yet there was enough room for spontaneous, personal experiences. We really appreciated how openly and extensively you responded to all our questions – thank you for that! Ahmed’s knowledge of Egypt’s history and culture is impressive, but much more than that, his open, warm-hearted manner inspired us. Through him we not only experienced the famous sights, but also gained a deep insight into Egyptian everyday life. A special moment was the visit to his family: His mother’s hospitality, atmosphere and delicious food – all this was simply unique and remains unforgettable. For us, this trip was not just a holiday, but an experience that touched and enriched us. If you want to get to know Egypt off the beaten track, EL Deak Tours is the place to be. Very clear recommendation – even we as two single women (mother and daughter) felt absolutely safe and in good hands at all times. 🌟

We were very lucky to make our trip to Egypt with Ahmed – and it was an unforgettable experience! 🌞 Even the tours to Luxor and Cairo were perfectly organized and incredibly enriching. ☺️ Ahmed not only introduced us to the impressive sights with his warm manner, but also gave us a very personal insight into Egyptian life. 🇪🇬 An absolute highlight was the visit to his family. We were able to experience their hospitality, feel the warm mentality and enjoy his mother’s fantastic food – an experience that will stay with us for a long time to come.🙏🏻 Ahmed made our trip very special. If you want to experience Egypt authentically and with a heart, you are in the best hands with him. Absolutely recommend! PS: even as two women we felt very safe with Ahmed around the clock!
